The stories in this book are things that happened to Dr. Ramsey during his childhood and youth, or to one of his children or grandchildren. He has told them in the style of ‘Safed the Sage’, a book he read and admired as a young man. In order to make the storytelling easier, he has told the ‘children and grandchildren stories’ as if they happened to a single daughter or to one granddaughter or grandson.

Each story has an included Bible passage to make it possible to more directly use the book as a devotional resource. His loving-kindness and generosity are obvious in the way he interacts with the children in the stories, and they are a great example of the way seemingly ordinary lifetime events can be used to learn valuable lessons.
